well nothing else is gonna fit into this
dress I'll tell you that maybe something
on this box I don't want you get too
excited
Zilla I long for that great scene these
actors put the improv in improvement
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're
counting down our picks for another top
10 improvised movie moments for this
list we've chosen movie scenes or lines
that were ad-libbed or otherwise changed
by an actor in the heat of the moment
[Applause]
[Music]
number ten show tune the Warriors can
you dig it for the Coney Island
confrontation between this film's rival
gangs director Walter Hill wanted David
Patrick Kelley's character Luthor to
tunt the Warriors from his 55 Cadillac
and he gave him free rein to do it in
any way he wanted Kelley clinked three
bottles together in one hand and
delivered the legendary singsong Todd
that we've come to know according to
Kelly it was a childhood bully that
inspired the chant it also helps that
he's a musician blessed with the singing
chops for the line
[Applause]
[Music]
number nine just kicking it the Lord of
the Rings the two towers showbiz is
dangerous there are few of us left
during a particularly emotional scene in
the adaptation of Tolkien's trilogy
Viggo Mortensen's character Aragorn
breaks down when he comes to the
realization the two of his Hobbit
friends might be dead and he expresses
himself by kicking a nearby helmet turns
out his breakdown was not only emotional
but also physical because after one too
many takes of kicking solid metal he
broke two toes the shot chosen for the
final cut of the film was the toe
breaker because you can't fake the
intensity of the actors excruciating
pain number eight the barn story Saving
Private Ryan I can't see my brothers
faces
and I've been trying and I can't see
their faces at all is that ever
happening Matt Damon only shows up
towards the end of this epic war film
and he's so preoccupied with survival we
barely get to know his character except
in this scene which was improvised by
the actor one night two of my brothers
came and woke me up in the middle of the
night I said dad a surprise for me so
they took me to the barn up into the
loft and here was my oldest brother Dan
as Ryan and captain Miller quietly await
more fighting Private Ryan reminisces
about his lost brothers with a
spontaneous tale
he's working on he's trying to get it up
and all of a sudden shot just screams
that demon obviously thinks the story is
as funny as we do but once he realizes
it's the last time his family was
together the scene takes on a
bittersweet feel made more impressive
when you remember it was ad-libbed that
was it that was the last that was Dan
went off to basic the next day that was
the last night the four of us were
together two years ago number seven the
zit Animal House when a director gives a
comedian like John Belushi a little
wiggle room anything can happen but it's
almost guaranteed to be funny John
Landis knew that when Bluto began
dumping food onto his tray something
magical might occur so he let the
cameraman follow him for the rest of the
scene
everything Belushi did in the cafeteria
was unscripted and since the cast and
crew weren't in on his joke or its
disgusting punchline
Amma's it get it the reactions captured
on film were real it's classic Belushi
and possibly the flicks most famous
scene
[Music]
number six blood sweat and smears Django
Unchained
I will admit you all pretty clever when
injured on the job most people would
take a 30-second breather before
continuing with their day now that
should be your first second third fourth
and fifth concern not Leonardo DiCaprio
he got so into character for Django
Unchained that when he slammed his hand
down onto a table during a tense scene
smashing a glass and cutting his hand so
badly he required stitches
he just kept right on with his racist
rant tonight but that you can't believe
DiCaprio even worked the blood into the
scene by smearing it across an obviously
mortified Kerry Washington's face
boom Hilda yeah is my property
and I can choose to do with my property
whatever I so desire and if you all
think my price this year is too steep
apparently the room erupted in a
standing ovation after the take to the
man with the exceptional beard and his
own exceptional number five hair and
makeup the 40 year old virgin she starts
doing his pubes I've out of here some
say a comic is only as good as his
ability to improvise by that logic this
film features some stellar comedians as
it has many unscripted moments
everything from Steve Carell is genuine
pain induced curses that having his very
hairy chest waxed all right seriously I
think I've done that's good to Paul
Rudd's and Seth Rogen's gay joke Barb's
were off-the-cuff you know I know that
you're gay oh you have a reign
bumper sticker on your car that says I
love it when balls are in my face and if
you're a fan of the you know how I know
you're gay back and forth you should
check out the extended DVD scenes where
the two try to outdo each other for
several minutes you know I know that
you're gay Wow cuz you're gay and you
can tell the other gay people or you
know I know you're gay yeah you like
Coldplay where the two try to outdo each
other for several minutes all ad-libbed
of course you know how I know that
you're gay you like the movie made in
Manhattan
number four men afford Blade Runner
shall we continue it's completely
natural for actors to tweak their lines
for a monologue but rarely do they go
beyond grammar or sentence structure to
resonate this much with the character
and audience quite an experience to live
in fear isn't it that's what it is to be
a slave though there were previous
scripted versions of this soliloquy
Rutger Hauer mainly improved the depth
and philosophical musings of Roy Patty's
last words and gave us even more reason
to ask the question what is human I've
seen
attack ships on fire off the shoulder of
a lion alders
moments will be lost in time it might
sound a little cheesy on paper but it
isn't when it's delivered as a replicant
leaders dramatic final epiphany time
[Music]
number three sword to a gunfight Raiders
of the Lost Ark actors aren't immune to
travel troubles and even a tough guy
like Harrison Ford submitted to
dysentery while filming Raiders in
Tunisia that's a big reason this scene
was altered originally Indy was supposed
to engage the show-off he swordsman in a
choreographed sword fight where the
adventurous archaeologist would disarm
him with his whip but Ford was sick and
just wanted to shoot the guy I ought to
kill you right now though it wasn't
improvised while cameras rolled that
move impacted the franchise in a big way
and the scene is one of the series most
iconic and hilarious moments number two
the most annoying sound in the world
Dumb and Dumber we usually don't pick up
hitchhikers
but I'm gonna go with my instinct on
this one saddle up partner as dum-dums
Harry and Lloyd head on their
cross-country roadtrip they meet all
sorts of people including a hit man
who's trying to kill them hey hey hey I
told you already I'm on it
all right well sucks to be that guy cuz
car rides with these two mean
sing-alongs hits he's backsies
director terrific and the most annoying
sound in the world
when hear the most annoying sound in the
world that last one was injected into
the film by Jim Carrey on the fly and
you can see in Jeff Daniels reaction
that he was not expecting it even the
hit man's outburst was unscripted
proving that sometimes unplanned is best
Phyllis
we could listen to the radio or
something before we reveal our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
number one look out
bellow Tarzan the ape men how then Jane
hurt me boy love it
okay this jungle living eight man
originated in a series of Edgar Rice
Burroughs novels where his signature
sound was described as the victory cry
of the bull ape
when it came to bringing that noise to
the screen Olympic swimmer and once
competitive yodeler johnny weiss mueller
was the first actor to succeed where
others had failed tasked with inventing
a call to summon his jungle crew twice
Muller and apparently some Hollywood
sound editing trickery combined to
create one of the most celebrated
imitated reused and easily recognized
sound bites in film history
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

unscripted movie scenes did we miss for
